What are your favorite Japanese games with crippled protagonists?

Aaron was cool as fuck dude.

>>714028476
Hes not crippled

>/v/s been flooded by wheelchair threads today

Yes, we know, your favorite youtuber faggot made a new video about wheelchairs. Get a life, zoom zoom.

>>714028379 (OP)
A world with
>Space faring star ships
>Magic the blow up planets
>Evangelion esque mechs
>An underwater city
>Beings who possessed creation magic akin to gods
And yet a poorly crafted wooden wheelchair is the best they can do for this guy. Immersion ruined.

>>714028543
Look at his mangled arm.

Glad pic related was adapted really well in the last two games.

>>714028548
is that what this retardation is about

is this because of the wow threads?

Blood will tell.

>>714028701
He just wears his robe like that because he likes to be comfy.

>>714028701
.....he literally uses his other arm all the time in combat

>libtards get a bloody nose
>start pretending to misunderstand the argument and trying to shift the topic
every time

XIVbros....? Our response??

>>714028781
>>714028746
This is because of the wow cinematic.

>>714028548
>Get a life, zoom zoom.
No need to call the wheelchairbound that.

>>714028476
why don't we get characters like this anymore

>>714029090
hasnt khadgar and some dragon been in a wheelchair for years?

>>714029021
>straight white wizard in a flying wheelchair is liberal
Damn, righties REALLY want that pendulum swing huh?

>>714029227
The new cinematic is so bad that it’s reviving the old wounds like khadgar being in a fucking wheelchair.
This is the consequence of all of the DEI sins. Enjoy!

>>714028476
I refuse to believe this man is any younger than 45.

>>714028379 (OP)
I need our dear leader Asmongold's opinion on this.

DMC5. I love this idiot.

>>714028379 (OP)

Any game with a female protagonist is a game with a cripple because women are mentally disable.

>>714029317
>cinematic
>cutscene

>>714028476
More like crippling alcohol addiction...

>>714029569
God why did you go and dig up another old wound.

>>714029310
You could just have closed the tab libtroon

>>714029640
because this game has always been retarded and grummz and asmon need to get real jobs

>>714029317
why would khadgar say this?

>>714029415
Nero is probably the only actual 'cripple' I can think of that is the main protagonist.

I don't think being a retard is considered being a 'cripple'...

Maybe Jensen from the Deus Ex reboot?

>>714029797
because Dalaran is the only human kingdom to fall twice in Warcraft, unless you count Lordaeron during BFA

>>714029797
the magic wheel chair thing is the most hilarious shit I have ever seen in my life.

Like nigga if you can do that, just magic yourself up some new legs!

>>714029780
What’s wrong with their current job of ripping Blizzard and friends apart for complying with DEI? It’s pretty entertaining simply because of the seething coming from people who want to ignore the DEI.

>>714029797
Well that explains why they blew up Dalaran. The Kirin Tor were too white.

>>714029797
Borrowing this from another thread...
>Universe has a robust magic system
>Can create just about anything with magic and/or impossible Dwarf/Gnome technology
>Decides to use a boring wheelchair made out of magic

>>714029813
Does using cybernetics count you as a cripple?

>>714029907
It’s also the only human kingdom that bothered taking The Lich King seriously and offered their city as the staging ground for war.

But sure let’s just forget that Dalaran were always the good guys up until recently.

>>714029981
They don’t get the check in the mail unless it’s a wheelchair. The contract was very specific about this.

>>714029985
Admittedly, it's been awhile--I know Jensen was involved in an accident and got cybernetic'd out, but was any of it to resolve mobility issues to classify him as a 'cripple?'

>>714030191
I would say so, seeing as he got so fucked up that he needed all of that done in the first place.

>>714030162
Yeah, well then, I guess they won't be surprised when I don't play their games.

Anything and everything that Blizzard touches turns to shit.

>>714030401
Now you understand why they have no choice but to go all in on these grants. They scared away their prime demographic.

>>714030495
>>714030401
Trump elimated DEI thoughbiet

>>714029985
I'd argue yes; it's a more advanced prosthetic but a prosthetic nonetheless. DMC5 just took advantage of using his missing arm to introduce new gameplay mechanics, and that's what games should do. Your hero's unique traits should inform how they play. I also remember in Sly 3, Bentley was in a wheelchair so they used that for unique platforming options.
Unless you mean Jensen, in which case my answer's still yes. I never played DE but I know he was injured pretty badly in a terrorist attack. His arms were visibly fully cybernetic so I assume at least those were amputated.

>>714030652
>thoughbiet

Nani?
Also, that only applies Federally, and is still protected under the first amendment.

But knowing him, he's probably using the constitution as toilet paper, hence the curtain.

>>714030698
Is there ever a point where the cybernetics are just so good that having them is no longer considered a disability or are you automatically considered a cripple the moment you're missing an organic body part, no matter how much better its replacement is?

>>714028379 (OP)

Devil May Cry V

>>714030652
Many companies including Blizzard said they have no intention of ending their DEI programs.

>>714030965
Now this one was just sad to see. Imagine being a magical dragonman and you're wheelchairbound. Must feel like a special kind of hell.

>>714029008
>.....he literally uses his other arm all the time in combat
Yeah, fucking idiot, his other arm.

>>714028682
Why didn't Cid make him some Magitek legs? Why didn't Cid make Raubahn a Magitek arm?
Cid is a dick

in ff14 when Arenvald got his back broken and was confined to a wheelchair it was treated as a nightmarishly horrific situation that effectively ruined his life forever and it was almost treated like it was worse than if he had just died. He quickly started falling into depression and nobody could really comfort him because they all knew it was true that his life was over.

Anyway it's a pretty funny contrast to how WoW tries to treat disability like it totally doesn't matter in typical modern way

>>714031113
People really did age differently back then...

>>714031204

>>714030928
I don't know, man--I know Ghost in the Shell explored that theme/concept.
>Squad mate laments not being decked out like the rest of the team
>Major reassures him that a human element is necessary when every thinks and acts in the same hyper-elite fashion.
>Gut intuition helps them catch the big bad

Completely forgot about him...

>>714031286
With the way Raubahn's cape is positioned I fully expected him to throw the cape back at some point to reveal a cool gun arm or something but that moment just never came. Very disappointed by the missed potential there.

>>714031286
Magitek isn't capable of technology that advanced. Magitek is pretty much like oil power with magic oil. It's particularly well suited for simple magical effects like attacking and shields but otherwise it's only really useful for industrial sized stuff. The best Cid could probably do for him is make him a large walker but even if he did then it would just be like buying a car for a crippled guy, it doesn't really help with daily things

Also healing magic is super shit in FF14 universe, it can't really deal with anything serious. Keep in mind one of the Scions has been blind for a long time now and nobody has even tried to fix it because they know it's impossible

>>714029910
Even if it HAD to be a wheelchair they could at least have made it look more magical instead of just adding some purple filter to the same wooden wheelchair that one dragon uses

>>714031454
Another advantage is that you also can't get hacked. They showed in Human Revolution just how badly a cybernetics company getting hacked could go.

>>714029981
I was kinda getting at that with >>714030698 but my issue with this shit is always that devs don't take advantage of this. If your character can't walk or run normally, there's like a dozen things off the top of my head they could do to make him look or play uniquely. Like if the wheelchair floats, why does it need to be a wheelchair? It should at least be something cool like a throne.
>>714030928
I think it would stop being considered a disability once it's indistinguishable from the original limb. But if they're that good, you'd also see people willingly getting them for one reason or another.
I think Metal Gear Rising touched upon this a bit, they mentioned most PMC's had at least some level of augmentation. Granted, aside from restoring lost limbs and senses, the immediate use for most cybernetics you see in games is focused on combat and sometimes hacking, so you wouldn't see heavy usage outside military or police settings.
Cyberpunk, both the anime and various games, depict a lot of enhancements that'd be beneficial for daily life even as a normie.

most based cripple in vidya reporting in

>>714031838
but those normal humans in gits still have cyber brain implants so they can get hacked, which is what happens to the guy

>>714029981
Same reason why conjurers use magical, floating hands to hold their books and teapots, instead of just making them float.

>>714028476
This is the cool unc i strive to be

What's with the sudden influx of wheelchair discourse coming back from the dead in /v/?
This shit is more than a year old.

>>714032864
people laughing at WoW

>>714032985
I mean couldn't he have conjured up literally anything else? He's like the grand wizard or some shit.

>>714032985
Yeah, and that's still old news.

>>714033059
your mistake is thinking they did this for creative reasons, and not for "inclusiveness" point scoring

>>714031286
>>714028682
Magitek is extremely expensive, bulky, and the fuel it uses is highly volatile, like shaking it too roughly can cause it to explode. Magitek prosthetics are a thing in-universe but Garlemald held the secrets extremely closely so that they could commission the services out to Hingashi and Thavnair, so nobody else knows how to do it. This was all explained years before Arenvald got put in a wheelchair.

>>714033101
i think there was also an embarrassing WoW cinematic that is making the rounds as well, and it dredged up some of the other terrible choices blizzard has been making

>>714031109
There's something sadder. The crippled dragon came right after OP's pic, fueling the meme that wow was ripping off xiv

>>714032985
>Why would D&D allow wheelchairs? DEI! It's a fantasy world, they'll use healing or a magic chair that floats!
>Okay, here's a crippled mage using a magic chair that floats.
>ITS STILL DEI

>>714033342
A floating ghost wheelchair is stupid. Why does it even have wheels?

>>714033245
> Magitek prosthetics are a thing in-universe
Who even has prosthetics in FF14? I can't think of anyone, aside from some medical experiment monstrosities that aren't even human anymore like the final boss of Castrum Abania

>>714033101
it actually started with something more recent, and people started sharing the tranny chair, tranny chromie, pelagos, wheelchair kadghar, and that last one stuck the most cause it was plain stupid and retarded

>>714033456
The real reason is they had one wheelchair model and just applied the purple arcane texture to it and gave it 35% opacity.

>>714033493
Grynewaht got most of his body replaced with prosthetics for his boss fight, but that info comes from a lore interview with Koji or Oda, I forget who it was.

>>714033298
If that one-armed woman lost her arm at some point in a distinguished military career, I'm sure there's room in the army for her to be an officer. I don't know why anyone would ask her to run directly into a fight, let alone why she'd volunteer. And with a spear no less, a two handed weapon. That woman from Call of Duty with the prosthetic arm at least had the excuse of being trapped behind enemy lines.

>>714033576
brutal

>>714033456
>>714033575
Every conjured object in WoW is just an object with a purple arcane texture.
No ones calls it DEI, when a Jaina conjured actual cannons on her floating shit, when she could have just turned them into anything simpler.

>>714033576
>BOOOOOM

>>714034279
But why does it have wheels when it floats?

Wheelchair Accessible Dungeons

>>714034331
I never noticed the big container on his back was connected to his chest by that tube.

>>714028476
He's not a cripple, he's just aurafarming, as the youngings say it these days.

>>714033784
Maybe she just wants to die on the field with some honor.

>>714028379 (OP)
Killer 7

>>714028476
Real answer is that Yojimbo did it and Auron is inspired by that genre of character.

>>714033784
anon, you are trying to approach the situation with logic, modern blizzard isn't logical. she's there because she's black and crippled, and needs to be front and center because "representation".

I wish there were more of the levitation wizard genre of cripple that can't use their legs because of atrophy because they're hooked on levitation. For instance, my boyfriend is a dragonkin

>>714035051
who because he's a master level wizard, has lost the ability to walk, and doesn't wear shoes because of it. Instead he wears atrophied socksge or not at all. He's also slimy and pulsating because of the temperature increase.

>>714029310
You'll never be a woman, troon.

>>714029569
>>714029797
I thought in the world of warcraft magic can heal nerve damage? wtf lol

Thanks for the charm

>>714028476
He's definitely cool. I started wearing my robe just like him, by resting one arm inside the sleeve like that. So badass!

>>714035812
the parts leading up to darklurker make him the biggest antagonist of DS2

>>714035975
Tried it with my bath robe and you know what, it was kind of comfy and I get why he does it.
